A peculiar pnconsismncy.

A somewhat embarrassing question
will engross the attention OF Mr..
Cieyeland's administration. 1t has
been the settled policy OF the state
Department in dealing with the fish
cries trouble to claim that the marine
league. which is the limit OF any
nations sovereignty on the ocean,
should run only from the shore line,
and not from headland to headland,
the latter being the position assumed
by the British foreign office. Sue
cessive Secretaries OF State have
presented this as the position OF the
United States as applicable to the
coasts of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia
and other points to which our fish
ing marine were wont to bic them to
catch bait. The Canadians have
uniformly resisted this view OF the
matter. and with such energy and
determination that at times we have
been almost on the verge OF war with
Great Britain. We now come to a
singular Inconsistency in the attitude
of our government. Shortly after the
purchase of Alaska by Mr.. Seward
the Alaska Fur seal Company were
endowed by Congress with special
privileges. They were, in fact,
awarded monopoly Of the right to
catch seals in Alaskan waters. In
furtherance of this concession the
doctrine was advanced that Russia
had always claimed Behring's sea
and other northern waters as subject
to her sovereignty, and that the
United States was subrogated to all
her rights. This was brilliant idea
and was was at once brought forward,
undoubtedly originally in the interest
of the Alaska Fur Seal monopoly, in
the d ays when all Republican admin
istrations leaned tenderly to corpor-
ations of every kind. Under this
construction OF very interesting in
ternational question, American ves-
sells, which dared to take seals in
these waters, were promptly captured
and lbeled, the captains and own
ers being heavily mulcted. When it
came to a British or other foreign
vessel, however, the case was alto
gether different. Our authorities
shrank from maintaining on the
Pacific side of the continent doc
trine which they had repudiated on
the Atlantic side, and the foreign
ships release invariably followed.
What was sauce for the American
goose was not sauce for the British
gander. Very naturally the Ameri-
can skipper is highly enraged; and,
as a consequence, petitions are pour.
ing into Washington to have Ameri-
can seamen fishing in American
waters placed at least on on an equal
footing with the British tar. 1t is
high time that the government should
adopt some consistant attitude in this
matter.

wealth of Resorts.

The immense crowds that went
down TO Santa Monica yesterday
showed that the summer hegira to
watering places and mountain resorts
has fairly begun. Los Angeles is
specially happy in her facilities for
the enjoyment and recreation OF her
people. Within trifling distance
we have the delightful seaside resorts
of Santa Monica and Long Beach,
and will soon have another at Port
Ballona, all to be reached within an
hour. At the former place a hotel
has just been completed which rivals
in its attractions any similar resort
on the coast, while the accommoda-
tions at Long Beach are OF an except
tionally high grade, the only drawback
perhaps being the fact that the sale
of exhilarating liquors is not allowed
there. However, the facilities for
surf bathing are equal to those found
anywhere else on the globe, and at
Santa Monica the bathing establish
ments, supplied with hot and cold
salt and fresh water, are perfect in ali
their appointments. For some reason
the undoubted advantages which
Wilmington and San Pedro possess
as watering places have not been
developed so fully as they ought to
have been. The attractions there for
the angler and those who enjoy
boating are very great. Within a
short distance from San Pedro the
Santa Catalina Islands Eold out in
ducements Of a very taking character.
The bathing and fishing are very
superior indeed. The seeker after
pleasure or rest can fish or bathe in
water so clear that the pebbles may
be seen lying at the bottom Of the
ocean, and he can enjoy the novel

at anything that speaks OF delay in
closing with his proposals. The con-
dition OF the real estate man here
abouts, as compared with what it
was three years ago, is as the chrys-
alis to the grub.

Special to the Gazette.

CpSCial W LIlC OdEeIGCs
PILOT POINT, TEX, April 30.-A
terrific gale swept over this section at an
early hour this morning and many people
fed to the storm cellar for safety. The
heavy awning in front and over the front
of ". S. McShan's brick store was blown
down, breaking four panes of large heavy
plate glass. The damage sus-
tanned will amount to about 500.
The south end of the awning fronting N.
Wilson & Co.'s brick was also blown
down, light damage sustained. The
residence of John Burton, north of town,
near Teaga, was unroofed; also, in the
same vicinity, shed in which was stored
harvester belonging to Graves & Myers
was blown down, crushing the machine.
1t will be worthless for use. Their loss
is estimated at $50 The wind was &C
mpanied with light shower of rain,
hardly enough to lay the dust. The
weather for a couple of days has been
hot, the thermometer registering as high
as 90 in the shade.

Rain About Cisco

Special to the Gazette.
Cisco, TEX, April 3O.-Once more our
country has been visited with 8 refresh
ing shower of rain. LAST night at about
Z: so O'Clock a very heavy cloud came
up from the northwest which was the
occasion of much comment. Some, the
croakers mostly, said it would not rain,
he cloud was only bluff, and we
would see it; while others would say, Of
course 1t is going to rain, they knew all
the time it would and the drouth was
broken; the rain came just when they
said it would, and they had noticed it in
the counties farther east, and the
drouth was always broken by a
wet spell. If a stranger
or q weather prophet had been on the
streets they could have COTTON some new
dots. While we did not have very
heavy rain, reports from all around US
show that 9 good rain fell very near us.
Yesterday and the day before were very
not; the thermometer stood at 994 in the
shade,
